The Patriot (2000)

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 On this brand new episode, we dive into 2000’s The Patriot and ask if this is peak “Mel Gibson dad-on-a-warpath” or just Revolutionary War Braveheart-lite. We break down whether Jason Isaacs’ Tavington is an all-time hateable villain and if Heath Ledger’s Gabriel is actually the real patriot of this story. Also, we answer important questions like- why is Charlotte single and is their romance even believable?  And could you imagine being “the flute guy” in a war band?
